The decision of the United States Supreme
Court in what are known as the Kansas pro-
hibtion cases is Of very great moment. The
point at issue was the constitutionality Of
the Kansas liquor law Like other prohibit
DRY laws, it forbids the manufacture, as well
as sale, of liquor. On behalf Of one Of the
brewers of the State, the point was raised
that this provision was in violation Of the
civil rights amendment, in that it was a TAX
ing Of property without due process of law
1t was contended that as the business of
brewer was legal when the breweries were
built, that State could not pass law forbid
ding the business without compromising the
brewers for their Losses, inasmuch as that
would be practically a confscation by the
State Of the property of its citizens. The
district Judge, who heard the case, sustained
this view, and the case was carried up to the
Supreme Court. 1t has been rumored that
a majority Of the judges were in favor of
sustaining the court below, but it appears
now that such was not the case. Maine
would not have been affected by the decision
in any event, because our prohibitory law
was passed before the civil rights amend
ment; but had the judges sustained the
court below, most of the States that have
prohibitory laws would have had big
bills for damage to pay. The progress of
prohibitory legislation would, too have been
effectually checked

The TurpIe case.

The question of Judge Turpie's right to a
seat in the Senate, which bids fair to occupy
the attention of that body for some time to
come involves an inquiry into the last cleo
ton in Indiana and the organization of the
State Senate and House, both of which were
very prolific in scandals. Under advice of the
Democratic attorney general of the State
both parties nominated candidates to fill
vacancy in the lieutenant goyernorship. 1t
happened that the Republican candidate was
elected. Under the Indiana constitution the
lieutenant governor is the presiding officer of
the State Senate. Both branches of the Leg
islature were very close, but the Republicans
had small majority In the House, and the
Democrats were numerally superior in the
Senate. One member of the House was
shown to be ineligible and unseated. The
Republicans then had majority ON joint
ballot, and had the fairly elected lieutenant
governor been allowed to preside over the
joint convention, as was his right, could le-
gally have elected their candidate for United
States Senator. The Democrats, however,
were determined at all hazards to defeat their
purpose, in order to do so Matched plot to
get rid of the Republican lieutenant govern
or and install Democrat over the Senate.
Their own attorney general had given his
opinion that 1t was perfectly legal and prop
er to fill the vacancy in the office by election
by the people, and all parties had acauiesced
and voted for thelcandidates in good faith.
The Democrats of the Senate, however in
pursuance Of their scheme Of getting rid of
the Republican presiding officer repudiated
the opinion of their attorney general, de-
clared that the election was illegal, and re-
solved to prevent, by force if need be, the
Republican lieutenant governor from pre-
siding over the Senate. They themselves
elected presiding officer. A fight ensued
for the possession of the chair, and finally
by purely physical means the Democrats
managed to install their candidate. Having
secured the chair they proceeded to unseat
Republican Senators enough to give them
majority on joint ballot, and when this had
been secured they elected Turpie Senator.
The weak spot in the Republican case is that
the Republicans OF both houses went into
the joint convention and voted. The pro-
testants against the seating of Turpie allece
that his credentials are not regular, not hay-
ing been signed by the presiding officer Of

THE WAY TO MEET THE THIRD PARTY.
ESt Louis Globe-Democrat.l
The Prohibitionists in Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania seem to be badly demoralized just now
at the prospects of their party. The vote of
that organization in Ohio, notwithstanding
the vigorous campaign made by its leading
men, showed a very small increase over last
year, while in Pennsylvania its vote fell off
from about $1,000 in 1856 to $1,000 in 1887.
The cause is the same in both cases. The
effective and readily enforcible liquor re-
strictiye legislation adopted in each of these
States has cut the ground from under the
Prohibitionists, and deprived them Of their
principal reason for being. The experience
of Ohio and Pennsylvania furnishes an OBJ
ject lesson for the New York Republicans
which, If they are wise, they will heed

Horatio King has sent to every Senator

advocate change of Inauguration day from
the 4th of March to the last Tuesday of
April, which in the Centennial year, 1889,
will be the 3Oth of the month, the day of
President Washington's inauguration. This
proposed amendment to the Constitution has
received the sanction of the Senate by the
passage of a joint resolution which final
ly failed in the last Congress on ac-
count of the inability of the Committee on
the Judiciary TO whom it was referred, to
report it to the House. Two slight amend
ments of the Senate resolution were found to
be necessary, one substituting the last Tues
day for the Both of April after 1889, because

other substituting the words last Tuesday in

ST.. LOUIS, February 27.-Probably the
most extensive private land purchase
ever made in this country was consum-
mated in this city short time ago, and

consisting of 10000 900 acres, known as
the Arkansas grant, situated in what
are now the States of Texas and Col

found it impossible to establish his
colony. The grant was renewed, how

Work of a Hurricane

LOUISVILLE, February q. = Early
Saturday evening wind commenced to
blow here heavily, coming from the
northwest. 1t continued to blow per-
feet hurricane, at intervals, until 6
o'clock this evening. Many accidents
are reported. principally minor ones,
though considerable damage has been
done. The sternEheel steamer r zindeer,
lying at the city wharf, was so roughly
treated by the waves that SIZE sprung
a leak and sunk in four feet of water.
After the Reindeer had settled upon the
bottom, much larger boat, the HI
hernia, which was towed to the wharf q
few yards above, was seized by whirl-
wind, her three large cables were
snapped asunder like so much Irvine,
and she was cast against the sunken
vessel. The latter was badly smashed
up. and the Hibe17lia recovered her
.moorings with her side stove in. The
river is rising at the rate of two inches
an hour, ana if the heavy rains of last
week continue much longer much suf-
fering will follow. The water has
already reached many houses. The
hurricane, to-day, also smashed in
about lao feet of the western wall of the
Southern Exposition Building.

AN HEIRESS OF RED DOG.
BY BRET HARTE.
Copyrighted by Houghton, Mifaln & Co., and
published by arrangement with them.]

The first intimation given Of the eccentricity
of the testator was, think, in the spring OF
1854. He was at that time in possession Of a
considerable property, heavily mortgaged to
one friend, and wifo OF some attraction, on
whose affections another friend held an in
cumbering lien. One day it was found that
he had secretly dug, or caused to LIE dug,
deep trap before the front door Of his dwell
ing, into which a few friends, In the course
Of the evening, casually and familiarly
dropped. This circumstance, slight in itself,
seemed to point to the existence Of certain
humor in the man, which might eventually
get into literature, although his wife's lover
a man Of quick discernment, whose leg was
broken by the fall-took other views 1t was
some weeks later that, while dining with GER
tain other friends of bis wife, he excused him
self from the table to quietly reappear at the
front window with three-quarter inch by
draulic pipe, and a stream Of water projected
at the assembled company. An attempt was
made to take public cognizance of this; but
majority OF the citizens of Red Dog, who
were not at dinner, decided that man had
right to choose his own methods Of diverting
his company. Nevertheless, there were some
hints of his insanity; his wife recalled other
acts clearly attributable to denentia; the
crippled lover argued from his own experience
that the integrity of her limbs could only be
secured by leaving her husbands house; and
the mortgage, fearing further damage to
his property, foreclosed. But here the cause
of all this anxiety took matters into bis own
hands and disappeared.
When we next heard from him he had, IN
some mysterious way, been relieved alike OF
his wife and property, and was living alone at
Rockville, fifty miles away, and editing
newspaper. But that originality be had dis
played when dealing with the problems OF bis
